The half-day Maras, Moray, Salineras Tour visits a colonial town, circular Inca terraces, and salt mines, located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

This tour is a lovely way to begin acclimatizing to the high altitude of Cusco and get ready for a trek if you have booked one. On this day you will experince the ancestral textiles of the incas visiting local families in Chinchero town. 

Maras is a beautiful little town that maintains some of its architectural colonial charm. You can see amazing facades made of thin stone, lintels with sculptures in bas-relief and learn about textile weaving. 

At the Moray ruin site, located at 3,450 m (11,319 ft), you can explore circular agricultural terraces with a complex system of irrigation. These terraces served as a natural green house to grow an extraordinary variety of crops at an altitude that they would typically only grow in the tropical Andes. It has also been suggested that they had a cosmological meaning. 

Salineras is a vast salt mine set in a breathtaking little valley in the Andean mountains. This tour has become quite popular recently and can be added on to any other treks or tours to have the complete Cusco experience!
